Pre-Student Teaching Action Plan
Name: Morgan Karas


The main concerns identified by my predecessors included:

Be perpared, plan ahead, be prepared for anything.
Get to know the faculty, your students
Keep in mind why you are there
Adjust sleep schedules
Stay positive

My main concerns about student teaching at this point are:
  • being organized
  • being prepared
  • being on time
  • keeping my students engaged



My Main Concerns about Student Teaching
Some strategies that I am going to try in order to prepare for Student Teaching:
Being organized/prepared
Get unit plans worked out with CT, always keep 1 week ahead in terms of worksheets printed out, have attendence and grade books filled out before I begin


Being on time
Start adjusting sleep schedule now in order to allow adjustment time. Get everything that can be done the night before done, lunch, gas in car, etc. During the winter allow a considerable amount of time for travel, to include, the normal time it takes you to get there, time to warm up/de-ice your car, traffic, bad driving conditions, etc.
Keeping students engaged
Talk to CT and ask opinion on the activities and for suggestions. Get feed back from the students after an activity to see where improvements can be made etc.

I am still concerned about... (and I'm not really sure what to do about this.)
